The BBC's Arabic language website, bbcarabic.com,
has teamed up with the leading Egyptian portal gn4me.com
to display headline news and features.
This means visitors to gn4me.com can now keep up-to-date with the latest
international and Middle East news from BBC Arabic award-winning 24/7
online news website.
Hosam El Sokkari, Head of the BBC Arabic Service, said he is delighted
with this new partnership: "bbcarabic.com now has the opportunity to
deliver high quality online news and current affairs to an even larger
Egyptian and Arab audience.
"This new arrangement further complements BBC Arabic news and
information presently available on the radio and news alerts through
mobile phones."
Mr Emad Adeeb, founder and Chairman of the Good News Group that owns
gn4me.com said: "This agreement between two giants in their fields will
increase both of our presences in the region and help us both to reach
a wider audience and respond to their needs.
"Visitors to gn4me.com will benefit from BBC news and information
in Arabic direct from our website, in addition to our usual content
of news, business, entertainment, sports, family, financial markets
and tips for women."
bbcarabic.com is the leading Arabic online news site in Arabic. The
award-winning site attracts an average traffic of nine to ten million
page impressions a month, over half of which come from the countries
of the Middle East.
It also carries a live audio feed of BBC Arabic radio, the leading
international radio news service in Arabic.
